Elizabeth is sitting in a clearing under a tree in the forest. There's a to go cup of coffee, that is now empty, sitting beside her. She's been out and about throuh the forest for most of the day. Part of her mind is going back to the conversation that she had with Jason, and the other part is trying to block out the fact that Raina's in Milliways.
Whould she go back with Raina? Honestly? Part of her wants to go back to playing those games. They were fun...for her anyways. But the majority of her brain is telling her that she has a good thing going here with Jason and Anita, and to not screw it up.
The wind shifted slightly and her head snapped up and the scent that was carried on the breeze. Having a small notice before Raina broke through the trees and into the clearing, Elizabeth was able to smooth her shock and slight fear away.
Raina froze briefly after coming into the clearing, a smile coming to her lips. "Well hello Elizabeth. Fancy meeting you here."
Elizabeth returned the smile with one of her own. Play it friendly, right? "Hello Raina." She frowns softly at the woman, slight confusion sliding across her features. "Didn't you know that I was around here? I would have thought that someone would have told you."
Raina raised an eyebrow as she walked towards Elizabeth. "I've run into Richard and Jason, and neither mentioned that you were here." She gives Elizabeth a little shrug. "Must have slipped their minds." She sat down opposite Elizabeth. "How long have you been prowling around this place?"
Elizabeth's head tilted to the side as she thought. "About a month or so now." She looked Raina over. "How long have you been here?"
"About two weeks." Raina stretches her legs out, watching Elizabeth like a cat with a mouse. "All this time, and you haven't caused any trouble?"
Elizabeth stiffened a little. "No. I haven't. I'm gettong along with these people."
Raina looked blankly at Elizabeth. "All that fun with Gabriel an dme, and you come to a new place with so much potential, and you sit and watch it walk by. What's wrong with you?"
Elizabeth pushes herself up. "Nothing is wrong with me. After nearly being killed, I've decided to try a new way to act around and with people." She moves to the other side od the clearing while she's talking. "I really don't want anything to do with your games anymore."
Elizabeth felt Raina's power a moment before she felt Raina grab the back of her neck and toss her into the middle of the clearing. She reached to touch the back of her neck, and her hand came back with blood on it. Looking across the clearing, Elizabeth could see one of Raina's hands was now a claw, and the tips of that claw had blood on them.
Raina let out a chilling laugh and licked her claw clean. "You will never be done with my games, if I so choose to want you to be part of them."
Elizabeth let out a growl, her power swirling around her out of anger at being bloodied, and slight fear because she knew that she could never take Raina. "I was done with your games the moment Gabriel disappeared from your side." She stood slowly. "You may be more dominant to me, but you aren't pard and I don't have to answer to you."
Raina launched herself at Elizabeth, her clawed hand stretched out to grab Elizabeth. "I can change your mid for you."
Elizabeth moved, but not fast enough. Raina's claw caught her arm, but not enough to grab, just enough to dig in and cause some damage. Elizabeth didn't stop moving, even though Raina's momentum continued her past Elizabeth, no she continued until she was on the side of the clearing closest to the bar. Pausing for a moment, she felt Raina's power at her back and pushed herself into the forest. "I won't change my mind just because you threaten me, Raina!"
Raina's claw came out of the shadows to the right, and catch Elizabeth's cheek, though it doesn't stop Elizabeth's pace very much. "Oh, and if I said join my games or die in them?"
Elizabeth turned quickly and caught Raina off guard in the stomach with a swift kick. "Not in this life."
Caught by suprised, Rainastumbles and falls for a moment, giving Elizabeth enough time to make it to the bar. A loud growl of frustration comes from that pretty throat and can be heard through out the forest easily.
Once in the bar, Elizabeth makes her way to her room with the stealth and speed that most, even in the bar couldn't match. Part if it is because of what she is, and part of it is because she doesn't want to deal with anyone or any explination as to why she's bleeding from deep scratchs on her neck, right cheek, and right arm. She'll have to explain them eventually because being that they were made from another lycan, they will take human speed to heal, but she doesn't want to deal with it at this moment.
A little while later, Raina saunters in from the forest, a slightly smug look on her face. She has a little dirt smugged up her legs from her unexpected fall, but other than that she's perfectly fine. She moves through the bar slowly and up to her room. She wasn't entirely victorious with Elizabeth, but the fact that the girl had run from her made it clear that she just might be able to pull off breaking her, and pulling her to the side she wanted.
